Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Name one candidate with the name recognition to win who has also expressed an interest in running in 2024.
Ah, there’s the rub isn’t it, they wont run another candidate because everyone is supposed to just fall I. Line.
Run Whitmer, she did great things in WI
And conspiracy theories, like it always boils down to. "They" lol.
Whitmer would be sending aid to Israel. Every politician would.
Then we pick someone who wouldn’t.
Would it be difficult? Yes
Would it have a chance to fail? Yes
Would the stakes be high? Yes
Would it be the most American fucking thing to do, to stand up for what is right instead of easy, to protect those who need it most, to take the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and to stand shield for them? Yes
Fuck Nationalism in all its evilness, instead let’s be what we said we would be and start fucking actually working towards it.
Let’s live up to that, instead of aiming for mediocrity.
America is at its best when it’s the underdog.
Very convenient that your all-American idiot plan almost certainly hands a win to Putin-loving Republicans 😂
Not if y’all would just work with us!!! All we are asking is that you stand up and say “This is too far”, if he actually changed we could talk about keeping him around, right now we could be preparing his replacement in case he doesn’t.
If he does good enough then we still have him, if not he says I’m out and then we push the new one.
Let’s be real, most people are idiots who will vote whatever name has a D next to it
Apparently not, world would be a better place if they did.
The primary was your chance to put up a better candidate. You didn't. You don't have the numbers to beat Biden in the primary, but you do have the numbers to give us Trump.
Sucks for y’all I suppose then, I’m done being the one compromising.
So you're okay with all the death and misery that will come from a Trump administration?
Same question, you could work either us instead of against us
Leftists are a small percentage of Democrats. You don't have the numbers to sway the moderates. But you do have the numbers to give Trump a win. Are you okay with that outcome?
I’m not a Democrat. I renounced the party.
If the case is that more people are OK with supporting him and his genocidal supporting actions than are against them, then we deserve whatever the fuck we get.
So you're okay with Trump destroying our democracy?
Nope, but you guys are gonna side with genocidal actions, so I guess we get what we actually deserve for supporting that.
So yes? "Get what we deserve" definitely sounds like you're okay with that outcome.
Fine, I’m okay with it then.
If that’s what we vote for that’s what we deserve
Cool cool cool
Just so you're on record
Yes I am on record saying that if there are enough Americans voting to support genocidal actions then we deserve whatever happens.
Every single person who does so has decided that human life is not on top of their priority list
